The FT234XD is a USB to serial UART interface with optimised packaging (3mm x 3mm 12 pin DFN) for smaller PCB designs and the following advanced features. Check datasheet on the link below. FT234XD - USB to BASIC UART IC -...

VP Process Inc has recently released a new series of Raspberry Pi DIN rail mountable "Hardened" interfaces. The first release is the PI-SPI-DIN-RTC-RS485, which is available in three mounting versions: DIN Rail Clips, DIN Rail Enclosure, and PCB Spacers. The basic specifications...

With the host of protocols available in electronics interfaces, choosing a protocol is a hard job. Some protocols are designed for long distance and reliable communication applications such as RS-485. Others are used for low cost and short range communication such as I2C, and so...

Avishek Hardin at Arduino Project Hub designed a lightweight mobile using a GSM module, an Arduino UNO, and a Nextion touch screen display. The lightweight mobile has the following features: Make calls Receive calls Send SMS Receive SMS Delete SMS In this project,...

Sometimes while building a Raspberry Pi based project, it may be difficult to connect a screen, mouse and keyboard each time you want to edit something. If the Raspberry Pi is connected to a network, then running a remote desktop on it could be a good solution. Remote Desktop...

In serial interface world, there are differential and non-differential protocols. The most famous one of differential interfaces is USB besides HDMI and others, while I2C is a non-differential one. Joshua Vasquez from Hackaday decided to use DI2C (differential version of I2C) to...

Horst Gether @ edn.com writes about how the simple and well established 3.5mm jack can be used for data-rich communication between headset and mobile device. The 3.5mm phone jack is a well-established standard in the audio industry and continues to get strong support from users in...

Debugging is an important part of the design process that is necessary to identify and fix errors. Over the decades, debug tools had evolved providing easier and simpler solutions. Today, ARM introduces CoreSight SoC-600 as the next-generation debug and trace tool that speeds up...
